Is Young India Drunk? .... Think about it

When is the last time you got drunk? "i am drinking right now and u have no clue how much trouble I'm having to get all the spellings right." Imagine a pretty 22-year-old Mumbai girl sitting in front of her computer and peering at a digital audition form for music channel MTV's ongoing reality show, The Real World, meant for youngsters with "one big dream to be famous". "I am not a party animal," she insists. "I drink just to have a good time. I am a good girl."
She is not the only one with a glass in her hand. Youngistan is talking bottles, pegs, pints and shots with the ease of seasoned drinkers, raising a toast to everything: Birthdays to cricket matches, before and after exams, to stave off boredom or the blues. And if opportunity knocks, an unusually high percentage are drinking until they land in trouble.

Exploring the Streets of Bengaluru: Face Reading and Shared Risks

Sometimes, the most profound lessons come from stepping out into the world, engaging with people from all walks of life, and embracing the shared risks that come with unconventional learning experiences... Suneel My recent stay in Bengaluru took an unexpected turn when I decided to explore the back lanes of MG Road. Little did I know that a chance encounter with a psychology student would open up a fascinating experience of face reading right there on the bustling streets. As I strolled down MG Road, absorbing the energy and chaos of the city, my attention was drawn to a student of psychology standing just after the Metro station. What caught my eye was a playful cardboard sign that boldly declared, "Myth: Psychologists can read faces. Fun Fact: Psychologists can actually read faces!"
